OxyElite Pro?
So I went to GNC a couple of days ago to get some post-workout protein powder (ended up getting their amplified wheybolic extreme 60 in chocolate.....it's working out great!) but they gave me a free sample of OxyElite Pro. I'd be down to try it b/c it seems to get good reviews but I'm a little skeptical. I also can't find…

feeling confused/overwhelmed
So when I first started this a little more than a month ago, I put that I wanted to lose 2lbs a week. the weeks went like this... I lost 3lbs, 2lbs, 3lbs, 1lb, 1lb. Now I'm starting to get nervous about a plateau. I exercise 4-5 days a week for about 23 minutes a day (except for the 2 days I do an hour). MFP has me at 1240…

how do you stay under 15% fat for the day?
I recently changed my MFP settings so that I'm only allowed 15% fat for the day (21g) and i'm finding it really hard to stay under. I'm usually only going over by like 2 or 4 but i would rarely go over when I had it set to the default. Is it bad to be over? what's the deal with fat in food? how do you stay under 15%?

So I was wondering how other runners run "healthy" i guess. How many days are you running and how many are you taking off? what kind of cross…

Maybe one day down the line, I'd even like to be a personal trainer (the personal trainers i've used in the past have always been such an inspiration to me and having struggled with my weight most of my life, I feel I could inspire…

any other swimmers out there?/people interested in starting?
I swam all throughout highschool and a little in college and i miss it terribly. I'm going to start adding it to my workout and was wondering if there were any other swimmers out there. I'm a little rusty in making up sets so I was thinking maybe we could help each other out?
